Tra
Hello all, i joined a few weeks ago but have unsure how to post messages so i hope u get to see this.
My partner is an electrician so we plan to try and get over on the skilled visa. We sent our first application away to TRA and we expect to hear back within next 2 weeks. We were meant to hear back in 60 days and I swear it feels like a year has passed already. In general does anyone know approx how long they take to get back?
Great site, some of the posts on the forum have been top notch, cheers.

If you get it back in 60 days - excellent! There may be hope for the rest of us!!!

Re: Tra
TRA at the moment are taking about 13 weeks, when we sent ours in August they were taking more like 16...
Very rarely people get them back before this, but it dont happen often!
You will probably find the Oz Immigration board more help on this:

Re: Tra
Fingers crossed for you!!
I found the last few weeks were the worst as you knew it was coming.
I think this time round it will be even worse as we cant really afford to fail again...
